Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a rectifier unit and a compensation circuit for limiting overvoltage across a power electronic switch of the rectifier unit and for limiting recovery current in a freewheeling diode of the rectifier unit. Power electronic switches have emitter parasitic inductance. The variable gain compensation circuit generates feedback based on the voltage developed across the parasitic inductance of the emitter of the power switch when the power electronic switch is turned on or off. The compensation circuit feeds this feedback to the gate of the power electronic switch to reduce the voltage developed across the emitter parasitic inductance. A power converter including a rectification unit with a compensation circuit is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of power electronics. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a commutation cell configured to limit switch overvoltage when turning a power electronic switch on and off and to control the commutation cell when the power electronic switch is turned on. Recovery current in the freewheeling diode. The present disclosure also relates to a compensation circuit used in a rectification unit and a power converter including the rectification unit with the compensation circuit. Background technique [0002] Rectifier units are commonly used in electronic systems that require the conversion of voltage sources, including DC-DC converters and DC-AC converters, commonly referred to as converters. Due to the limited space left for power conversion circuits, such as those used in e.g. electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle applications, and in view of the high cost of semiconductors, there is an increasing need t...
